[QUOTE="Travlr, post: 1769939, member: 42463"] Okay... with all the stories I've gotta tell one. Not so much the doctors... but how insurance can screw things up. My BIL had a severe back injury that was job related. He worked in a mine and destroyed his back. The medical establishment put a cage on the outside of his back with rods running inside to stabilize his spine. Top to bottom, head to tailbone. The cage was supposed to be removed in a month, four weeks. While he was waiting with this huge and uncomfortable appliance attached to his back, the insurance company involved denied any further work. They refused to cover removal of the hardware. Maybe they thought he would come up with the funds to get it removed, himself... but the expense was outrageous and he didn't have that kind of money. He lived with the cage on his back for four months instead of four weeks until the insurance company approved removing the hardware. [/QUOTE]
